Wireless electrocardiograms can be useful for a wide range of applications including early detection of seizures onset, West Syndrome, sleep apnoea, Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE), supra-ventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation. One of the advantages of using wireless sensing platforms in telemedicine is that patients can freely move and carry out everyday activities unhindered whilst vital cardiac action potentials are being measured. However, the measurements are highly sensitive to motion as motion changes the electrical characteristics of the interface between the electrodes and the skin and, thereby, distorts the useful signal. In this paper we propose a strategy for establishing the statistics of motion artefacts. Our approach employs 3D accelerometers to reason about the movement affecting the electrodes of a wireless electrocardiogram and takes advantage of the structure and sequence of cardiac action potentials.
